Photography

Almost anyone can take a picture. Almost anyone can modify an image, but not everyone can do it well. Whether it's enhancement and restoration, colorization, or transformation, the techniques can prove as lifelike and appealing.

Seamless integration requires attention to photographic details such as exposure, color saturation, clarity of focus, lighting, shadows, and size relations. Can you tell that three items were not in the original photograph, but shot at different locations and added artificially?

Notice the hat on the man to the left, the oranges, and the decorative kerchief in the pocket on the gentleman to the right were all forgeries!
